pioneer 16x dvd Model 106s/2
dlink 10/100mb pci ethernet nic-530tx
I tried loading xp with only video card
installed, with and without partitioning,
seagate's long test on 80gb hard drive-
test ran good, changed out ribbon cables.
After trying many things, received the
following message: Windows XP Home Edition Setup Setup cannot format the partition. The purchased the Windows XP CD-ROM
from Direct.Multiwave.com. Please help.

Reply: (edit)Format with a win98 bootdisk and then in dos run winnt.exe in the i386 folder. BTW you do not need an os installed to install Xp, even with an upgrade cd. If you need more info post back. You can get a Win98 bootdisk here http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml Hope this helps,
